Old stuff and artifacts

[Delodephius]

Do you have some old stuff at your house? Like over 50 years old. Or over a thousand years old.
I have a Roman or someone else's spear head that is at least fifteen centuries old. My cousin found it in his garden, he lives in Srem (Sirmia) where on the location of modern day Sremska Mitrovica once stood the Roman city of Sirmium. The city itself and the surrounding countryside is rich in ancient artefacts. He also found a ring, but he never showed it to me.
Apart from ancient stuff I also have a lots of things from my great grandparents. An 80 year old cupboard, richly decorated in Slovak style, a mirror from 1905, a whole collection of Bibles and different religious text ranging from 1860's to the 1920's written in old Czech in the Schwabacher script, and a coin from 1899 with a picture of Franz Joseph.

[Risto the Great]

I have a 1975 Fender Stratocaster that has the most awesome guitar tone.
I have some old Echolette valve guitar amplifiers from the 60's that make most Marshall amps sound like a swarm of flies in comparison.
I have an old Hitler microphone that sounds awesome and a similar one was used on one of the latest Pearl Jam albums.

Oh, I also have a personal letter from Alexander the Great written to me in the future. It was in Cyrillic naturally.

Some 30 years ago while ploughing one of his fields (niva) in the village of X, Bitolsko, my grandfather's horses fell through the ground.

The ground just gave in and the horses fell through. They tied rope to the horses and got them out and they could see some old (perhaps ancient) walls down below where the horses fell. With his sons (my uncle's) my grandfather filled the hole up with land and continued ploughing his fields (which he needed to do, in order to live).

My grandparents have since passed away and they moved out of X into the village of Kravari (closer to Bitola city) a few years after that discovery - the land is still owned by my mother's side of the family (my mother and her brothers and sisters) but nobody has been back to see what it was, nor has anyone called any experts to find out when those walls and whatever else is down there, dates from.

When I was there just some 6 months ago, I wanted to dig it up and call Pasko Kuzman or someone to have a look, but never did - although when I was there and it rained, you could hear the rain sifting all the way through the ground and hitting on something beneath the ground.

Other than that, overseas we have a short knife which dates back to the late 1800's and and a longer knife which dates back to the same period, belonged to my great-grandfather who fought with the Komiti and killed a few Turks with those knives.

I also have some original Macedonian national clothing which dates back 150 years.

Also a coin which dates back to Alexander's time and a coin which dates from Roman times, found on my uncle's tobacco field (niva).

They're all in Macedonia though. Here I have a 'bokal' for drinking wine (I forget how to call this in English) which is over 150 years old.

Venom.
Indeed we know this ... from the darkest depths of Mordor.
The song remains the same.

Ummm, I hate to boast. I will just keep quiet.

[Delodephius]

Yeah, I forgot, I have some old clothes too.

[Venom]

Risto, don't "Ramble On".

But seriously, I have an old, old bottle used for rakija, my dedo used in the war against our Southern Neighbours. I have no clue how old it is, nor how to get it valued in Sydney.

[The LION will ROAR]

A Lady friend of dads, still lives in Bitola who told him that she had found a big Statue Dates back in the roman times or older near Heraclea... she found it her NIVA..she has reburied it, and did not reveal the location..as you would..
She is afraid to notify the Government as they might take it off her..and she know's the value of it...I'm afraid that she will sell it for the right price to the wrong people..if you know what i mean? What should she do? to keep it in Macedonia?
